PERSONNEL
Justification: Increase on County pay scale for attorneys in Public Defender's office:
All attorneys in the public defender's office will be increased 1 grade on the County Pay scale, which will amount to a one time 5%
increase for all current staff as well as increase the starting rate for new hires.
Increase on County pay scale for Investigator in the Public Defender's office:
The Investigator in the Public Defender's office will be increased 2 grades on the County pay scale, amounting to a 7% increase for
current staff as well as increase the starting rate if new hire is needed to fill any vacancy.
Retention Bonuses for attorneys in public defender's office:
In addition to increasing the attorney wages on the County pay scale, $863 quarterly retention bonuses will be added during all 6
quarters of the grant.
-----------------------------
4/14/2025 Update:
Adding another 6 quarters of bonuses to the grant, using the same calculations as above. This will be paid out of the additional funds
that were offered.
Adding Forensic Case Manager position. Calculated at midpoint of Grade 16 of the County Pay Scale.
-----------------------------
6/26/2025 Update:
Wages: Adjusting to match projections and moving budget to support 2026 bonuses that were approved in PMR #3.
--------------------------
10/15/2025 Update:
Adding personnel names to the two vacant Assistant Public Defender positions.
--------------------------
4/13/2026 Update:
- Changing Wages/Benefits budgets to match actual expenses. Wage increase lines are no longer used, so they are being trued up to
finalize budget. Also adjusting Forensic Case Manager and Retention Bonus lines to support needed funds through end of
Supplemental Funding period (6/30/2027).
- Adding line item for Temporary Paralegal. This individual will cover the full time paralegal in the Public Defender's office while she is
on maternity leave. Franklin County uses an employment agency for temporary employees, which charges the County the employee's
base rate + a 39% fee to cover their benefits. The calculations for this employee are as follows: $19.59/hr + 39% = $27.23/hr * 40
hours/week * 13 weeks = $14,160
---------------------
9/1/2026 [PMR 9] Updates:
- Moving $5,292 from temporary paralegal line to support additional hours for existing legal assistant staff. Due to a shortage in
applicants, the three existing legal assistants will work up to 5 additional hours each, per week for the duration of the employee's
maternity leave. Calculation for each employee is below:
Kelly Gordon - $1,283 wages + $560 benefits = $1,843.00
Ashley Myers - $1,195 wages + $850 benefits = $2,045.00
Haylee Myers - $1,088 wages + $316 = $1,404.00

increase for all current staff as well as increase the starting rate for new hires.

The Investigator in the Public Defender's office will be increased 2 grades on the County pay scale, amounting to a 7% increase for
current staff as well as increase the starting rate if new hire is needed to fill any vacancy.
Retention Bonuses for attorneys in public defender's office:
In addition to increasing the attorney wages on the County pay scale, $863 quarterly retention bonuses will be added during all 6

- Adding line item for Temporary Paralegal. This individual will cover the full time paralegal in the Public Defender's office while she is
on maternity leave. Franklin County uses an employment agency for temporary employees, which charges the County the employee's
base rate + a 39% fee to cover their benefits. The calculations for this employee are as follows: $19.59/hr + 39% = $27.23/hr * 40
hours/week * 13 weeks = $14,160
---------------------
9/1/2026 [PMR 9] Updates:
- Moving $5,292 from temporary paralegal line to support additional hours for existing legal assistant staff. Due to a shortage in
applicants, the three existing legal assistants will work up to 5 additional hours each, per week for the duration of the employee's
maternity leave. Calculation for each employee is below:
Kelly Gordon - $1,283 wages + $560 benefits = $1,843.00

Justification: 4/14/2025 Update:

which will require funding to support the clients/individuals that it serves.
8/7/2025 Update:
Expenses to expect under this line item include but are not limited to: DL fees, hygiene supplies, restabilization fees, food/clothing
assistance. This line is designed to assist with the barriers that cause an individual to end up in jail and help keep the barriers from
worsening their situation as they work towards disposition of their charges with the Public Defender's office.

- Adding line for new computer purchases. These costs are in excess of what was allocated to the Public Defender's office in the
2026 budget. This line includes new laptops and docking station at approximately $1,325/machine.
- Adding a line for computer peripherals. These costs are also in excess of what was allocated to the Public Defender's office in the
2026 budget. This line includes any ancillary items, such as mice, keyboards, monitors, etc.
- Adding line for storage equipment. The Public Defender has requested external storage, as their space on the County's network is
limited and running short. Each drive is approximately $300 for 1 TB of storage.
- Adding line for Investigator equipment. The Public Defender is requesting equipment to assist the Investigator in her office. Requests
include a new camera, recording devices, etc.
- Adding line for new blinds in the Public Defender's office. The office is on the first floor and doesn't currently have blinds over the
windows. This is an issue with confidentiality and during the brighter times during the day can interfere with the attorneys' work.
Estimating $2,000 for this project.
Funds are being requested for case management software upgrades in order to reduce the time attorneys spend reviewing BWCs,
interrogation videos, jail calls, etc. The base estimate for grant line item is from JusticeText at $9,600 per year, however this item will
be competitively procured through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process.

4/13/2026 Update:
- Adjusting Conflict/Juvenile Counsel lines due to terminated contracts.
- Adding line for contracted transportation for clients. The Public Defender noted that many clients do not have reliable transportation
to get to and from Court, causing additional staff hours and case work for those individuals. The Public Defender's office will be
looking into vendors that can provide this service (such as Rabbit Transport). Budgeting $20,000 as an estimate, RFP will be done to
competitively procure the vendor for this service.
